Crow Medicine

"Wherever crows are, there is magic.  They are symbols of creation and spiritual strength. They remind us to look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life.  They are messengers calling to us about the creation and magic that is alive within our world." ~ Ted Andrews

If you don't believe in magic, how will you ever find it?

Bald Eagle

Ruby-crowned Kinglet

Winter Wren

According to ancient Celtic lore, the wren was considered to be the "King of Birds" and believed to have prophetic abilities. Supposedly, one could learn about the future by attentively listening to the wren's song. Wrens were called the MAGUS AVIUM which means "magic bird."  However...

...for many years this precious little bird was hunted and killed on December 26th of each year. Since the wren was considered to be a sacred bird by the early Druid people it was targeted by Christians as a pagan symbol. Young "christian" boys were rewarded with money for killing and parading the dead birds impaled on sticks from house to house. This is just another example of senseless cruelty created by humans in the name of religion.
